Ed Hardy 2012 Calendar. This 2012 calendar features the unmistakable work of the international artist whose tattoo styled illustrations and drawings have appeared on a multitude of products in recent years. Ed Hardy attended the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking and later was able to study tattooing in Japan with the Japanese classical tattoo master Horihide. Ed Hardy then became recognized for incorporating Japanese tattoo aesthetic and technique into his American style work creating the images, styles and designs we are all familiar with today and which feature throughout the 12 months of this Ed Hardy 2012 Calendar.
